Core Cargo Short - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I reach for these when I want storage without wearing a full jersey. The pockets stay tight to the leg, even when I’m out of the saddle, and the chamois holds up impressively on longer rides."

We count on the Core Cargo Shorts for rides where efficiency and organization matter. Rapha’s dense-knit main fabric creates a supportive feel with reduced bulk, keeping the shorts stable as we shift between climbs, flats, and short sprints. The lower front rise is especially useful when we’re holding a sustained forward position on the bars.

Two mesh thigh pockets sit close to the body, resisting bounce while giving us quick access to a phone, gels, or mid-ride waste. Laser-cut leg grippers provide consistent hold without the irritation of traditional banded designs, helping the shorts stay put through high-cadence efforts or standing accelerations. The Classic chamois balances cushioning and stability for mixed-terrain training and long-distance road riding.

These shorts shine on endurance routes, tempo sessions, and everyday rides where function and simplicity make the difference.
